How to live by example for your children

Values are really important as a guiding principle for how we engage in our life. The most important thing we can do to teach values is to live them and to engage in them and model them on a regular basis. So when we are talking about passing on or sharing values with our children, I think it is important for us to first understand our own value set and live accordingly. It is really that simple.
